Webinar: A&D and 4473 Correction Do’s and Don’ts

How to Fix Firearm Transaction Mistakes: A&D and 4473 Do’s and Don’ts

Monday, March 2 | 3:00 p.m. ET

Mistakes can happen in any FFL operation, and a busy firearm retailer feels that more than most. The challenge is that fixing errors in your A&D book or on a 4473 incorrectly can turn a simple slip-up into a serious ATF problem, such as a Notice of Revocation situation versus a Report of Violation scenario.

This session explains what the Gun Control Act (GCA) requires, how the Code of Federal Regulations in 27 CFR Part 478 applies to correcting records after the fact, and how ATF guidance interprets those requirements. We break this down in plain English, so you understand why these rules matter, what they mean for day-to-day operations, and how to apply them correctly in real-world situations.

We cover the most common issues FFLs run into, including A&D mistakes, 4473 errors, NICS or E-Check mix-ups, and bad or late dispositions, and show you how to fix them properly without creating bigger problems.

You will walk away knowing:

• What ATF allows you to correct
• How to fix mistakes without creating a false record
• The right way to annotate and explain errors
• What inspectors look for during an audit
• The difference between acceptable corrections and prohibited alterations

This session is built for everyday FFLs who want clear, practical guidance. The goal is simple: give you the know-how to make compliant corrections safely, legally, and confidently while protecting your license.
